javascript and following is an assignment( hmmmmmmmmmmm a Huge one but
unfortunately its not mine code, I am just trying to rectify it) to
this varibale.. Now I am facing a run time error(Untermina ted string
constant). Can any one please help me solving this bug.
strdata +="<tr <% if functionality_a dd = 0 and functionality_e dit = 0
and functionality_d elete = 0 then %>style='visibi lity:hidden'<% end if
%>><td valign=top colspan=2 class='formFiel d' height='25'

It is not a bug: new line cannot be used inside of a string literal.

The conventional way for long literals is:

var str = "";
str+= "hhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhh";
str+= "uuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuu";
str+= "gggggggggggggg gggggggg";
str+= "eeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeee";

There is also a native (means common for all JavaScript/JScript
implementations ) model failure exploit which allows you to do things
like:
(Google news swallows the backslashes, so instead of a real one I'm
using [backslash] marker)

var str = "[backslash]
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhh[backslash]
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuu[backslash]
ggggggggggggggg ggggggg[backslash]
eeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeee";

Note that [backslash] must to be the last char in the string. Also as
any exploit it is not guranteed to stay forever.

That's a broad sweep :)

While it might work in most Javascript implementations , what it means
is different. In some browsers, the "backslash newline" is not in the
resulting string (e.g., IE, Opera and Mozilla), in others the newline
itself is escaped and occurs in the string (e.g., Netscape 4).
